Author Topic: "dear white people" the movie that is totally going to do great  (Read 5049 times)

really? you just forgot about how i was angry that people were using elliot rogers as a political tool?
and i can't believe i have to say this but the shootings are directly connected to the deaths of people, if you laugh  at the shootings themselves that includes the people who died

oh im sorry there's a standard of quality on what can be complained about? complaining about a stuffty satire? NOT GOOD ENOUGH.
and by the way: "In media, an echo chamber is a situation in which information, ideas, or beliefs are amplified or reinforced by transmission and repetition inside an "enclosed" system, often drowning out different or competing views."  you are implying, by saying this is an echo chamber, that we are not entertaining opposing views? then how is this argument happening right now? i dont see you getting silenced or drowned out.
Okay so I'm going to use your logic and reasoning to determine what isn't okay to joke about.
It's not okay to make fun of OJ Simpson, Osama Bin'Laden, Adolf Riddler, or Sadam because they had victims. You can't make a joke about these people because people died due to them; they're off limits to joke about.

And you're mad because they used a murderer to get their point across. Completely irrelevant.

Now let me emulate you:
"hey 4chan, sending that person free tampons was loving offensive. This is why I need feminism.
here is a list of things that trigger me
Playstation 4
a Cheesecake Factory giftcard
a Steam giftcard
Calculus II by Ron Larson, Robert P. Hostetler and Bruce H. Edwards
clothes designed by Rick Owens in a size 8"

lol
You joked about being triggered? Are you kidding me? There are people with PTSD that will never have a regular life again because of the stuff they've seen.
Why would you joke about something like that?

And yes there is a standard of quality for complaining. There's actually having something to be upset about and searching for things to complain about.

youre mad cause its a stuffty movie? umm, deal with it perhaps?

Stop loving bitching that "boo hoo the movie doesn't treat races equally :(" because let's be honest that is all you loving bitch about when you talk about tumblr. You thought tumblr was bad, look at Kimon, call the waambulance, he had his intelligence offended because "they weren't making fun of the blacks and that makes it bad satire D:"

Let's check out the definition of a satire a la wikipedia
Quote
Satire is a genre of literature, and sometimes graphic and performing arts, in which vices, follies, abuses, and shortcomings are held up to ridicule, ideally with the intent of shaming individuals, corporations, government or society itself, into improvement.[1] Although satire is usually meant to be humorous, its greater purpose is often constructive social criticism, using wit as a weapon and as a tool to draw attention to both particular and wider issues in society.
Kimon, all you're pretty much saying is that "THIS IS BAD BECAUSE IT DOESN'T TREAT PEOPLE EQUALLY AND I DON'T LIKE THAT."

Damn I'm not even trying to say that that's wrong but it's sure as hell hypocritical for you of all people to be complaining that a movie doesn't treat people equally.

well i mean i dont know what to tell you but thats what we've been talking about but somehow i ended up explaining why using a Flash Mob to push a stuffty idea shouldn't be ok

I wonder what percentage of the people who are going to see this movie have no idea what satire actually is

"And you're mad because they used a murderer to get their point across. Completely irrelevant."

good loving bye
it's funny because you tried to take the high horse with that comment but it just makes you look like a huge apologist
